    I could use some help with my cab! (9 PIX)

    Couple things! The DIY carbon filter can only do so much. That cabinet is far from air tight? And since your fans aren't very high powered all the air won't be sucked through your DIY carbon filter. I am having the same issue right now. Our cabinet are quite similar! I plan on upgrading to a...

    Cooltube temperatures? How many watts should I use?

    Keep in mind the closet is large! about 4' deep, 8' high ceilings, and about 15' across! And one side has those slotted folding doors. I really dont have the option of cutting holes to vent out of the closet on this grow. Will have to wait for the move to setup something with better...

    Cooltube temperatures? How many watts should I use?

    Hmm...that gave me a good idea... Well first off portable ac units have a problem. You are suppose to hook up a duct to vent the hot air they push out the one side...So that would kind of cancel out the cooling effect. BUT I will be adding a second intake to my cabinet when I make this...

    Cooltube temperatures? How many watts should I use?

    I have 2 doors into the closet. One is solid, and the other is a set of those folding doors. So it's far from airtight. But there is no ac/heat running into this room. So it's always hotter/colder then the rest of the house. Right now it's 68 in my house, and in my cabinet with the lights on...

    Cooltube temperatures? How many watts should I use?

    I know but here is the thing. All that heat is going somewhere. I don't haev the ability to exhaust the hot air anywhere but into the closet my cabinet is within! Although the closet is far from airtight I'm concerned all that heat will get the closet so hot that during a 18 hour light on cycle...

    Growspace and lighting req. ? 250vs400

    Go with a 100 or 150 watt HPS! For sure...Def will need a cooltube though to keep the light cool so you can keep the plants close since your height is limited... good luck

    Molasses...How often can you use it?

    Can you use molasses with every watering? I'm about 3 weeks away from harvest, and I've used molasses a few times. Wondering if I can use it for every watering from here on out. I've already stopped my nutes.

    COOL TUBES! How many CFM's is your fan?

    My grow cabinet is 36" Wide x 54" Tall x 24" Deep. I'm finishing up my first grow, and plan on upgrading from my t5's to a HPS. I'm debating between a 400W HPS and a 600W HPS. There is only a $14 difference in price, but the 600W HPS offer nearly double the lumens! I will be using a 6" cool...

    594 watt CFL 1st grow plants out of control!!!

    Plants look good... BUT if you were using a MH or HPS you would be way further a long by now! I went cheap on my lights and regret it! Soon as I harvest I'm investing in a 400w or 600w hps. Forget slow growing! Rather spend the money and harvest more often! Also those cups will get...
